[10:18] EB: She's totally into you

[10:19] CG: WHAT THE FUCK MAKES YOU SAY THAT?

[10:19] EB: Just the fact that whenever you're around she can't take her eyes off of you

[10:19] EB: Seriously, Karkat, you're pretty dumb not to see this

[10:20] EB: You've gotta say something to her

[10:20] CG: THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN

[10:20] EB: Alright then, just live the rest of your life never knowing...



                                              ---

   You debated about putting anything away in your living room. Of course you didn't want him to think that you were a slob, but maybe cleaning up would be too obvious that you were incredibly nervous? With another look around you decided that everything was clean enough to look casual, not overly clean or messy. But you couldn't stay still for long.

   You're flushcrush, Karkat was going to be there soon so that you could watch a couple of romcoms together. That troll always did love his romcoms, and they weren't bad, but you felt like you were in the middle of one with the oblivious troll. Maybe today, you would actually get the nerve to say something. But just the butterflies that you got thinking about him coming over were a pretty good indicator that you wouldn't. A girl can dream.

   Finally there was knocking from the door. Your heartbeat picked up as you jumped up to go get it.

   "Hey, fuckass, what the hell is taking you so long?" The trolls impatiently growls. Making you chuckle to yourself. He never changed.

   "Relax, I'm coming," you said as you opened the door and then stood back to let him in.

   Karkat had been your best friend for quite some time now and was all too familiar with your house. He walked straight into your living room and plopped himself on the couch. You closed the door and then followed him.

   "So, what's it going to be for today? Troll 27 dresses, or ACTUAL 27 dresses?" you said, despite knowing that it would piss him off.

   "That's not its name, dumbass." Facepalm combo x1.

   "That's so much easier than saying the entire plot, don't you think?"

   He rolls his eyes and growls. You decide that that means that you can choose the movie for today and it's probably not too hard for him to figure out what your choice will be.

   "One second. It's in my room," you say and then dash up the stairs.

   You knew it was here somewhere, you thought to yourself as you rifled through your movie collection in your closet. You had just seen it recently. You didn't even notice when the door opened behind you and then closed again.

   "_____________?" The voice made you jump and drop the armfull of movies. You quickly turned around to see Karkat standing over you.

   "Look what you made me do," you said, pretending to be annoyed.

   "Listen, I have something to tell you." Just the fact that he didn't add 'fuckass' after the sentence told you that he was dead serious. You got worried. You slowly stood up and faced him, noticing how close he was.

   "Yes?" you said, looking straight into his eyes. You knew what you hoped that this would be, but of course it wasn't.

   "I, um. You-" you had never seen Karkat this flustered, he couldn't seem to find the right words.

   Finally he just settled on using actions instead, which was totally fine for you. Grabbing you around the waist, he brought you into his body and his lips met yours. It was a sweet kiss, not lasting long.

   "I'm fucking flushed for you," he said, his cheeks actually turning red.

   "Karkat," you said smiling and then reinstated the kiss, making it longer and deeper this time. His tongue flicked out and hesitantly asked you for entrance, which you granted. He seemed to put all of his longing for you into the kiss, you were so close that you were unbalanced. He had to take a step back so that you wouldn't fall.

   It turns out that he fell anyway. His knees hit your computer chair next to you desk and he sat down hard in it. You almost thought that he was going to take you down with him, but at the last second he let go. The chair rolled back a couple of inches.

   "Smooth, Karkat," you said giggling a little. You saw his blush deepen into embarrassment, which of course he tried to play off as anger.

   Before he could say anything, you climbed onto his lap, facing him and layed across his chest. Putting your forehead onto his, you whispered. "I'm flushed for you too, idiot." He couldn't help it and kissed you again. But this time you had the higher ground and took control of the kiss. Your hands found their way up and tangled in his hair.

   Then you felt the tip of your finger barely brush up against something hard. Karkat's entire body stiffened and you broke the kiss.

   "What's this?" you wondered out loud and then you used your finger to brush his horn again, around the tip. Karkat relaxed slightly and a deep rumbling could be heard from his chest. He had his eyes closed. You giggled softly at how content he looked and continued to stroke his nubby horn.

   Suddenly his hand shot out and grabbed both of yours, pulling them away from his head. His eyes opened and he looked livid.

   "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" he asked angrily. Well tried to, he was still purring and that took the edge off the effect. You looked at him with wide innocent eyes. "You don't just fucking do that!" He said and you started to get scared that you'd done something to mess everything up.

   "Sorry, I didn't know," you said, still innocently.

   "Just don't do that," he said softly, sighing and looking into your eyes.

   You then paid more attention to the rumbling, which had grown louder.

   "Karkat, are you purring?" you asked, giggling at how absurd that sentence sounded.

   "No it's-" he tried to say something, but you cut him off. Shifting so that you could be more comfortable, you laid your head on his chest and wrapped your hands around his neck. You could hear him purring more clearly now and it was somehow comforting. It sounded like Karkat. Leaving your head there, you closed your eyes and took it all in.

   Karkat eventually relaxed and his hands settled on rubbing circles around your shoulderblades. "So what do you say? Matesprites?" he asked softly.

   "Forever," you replied before drifting off into a light sleep.
